Money Hacks Carnival – The Print Media Edition

Welcome to the 28th edition of the money hacks carnival where some of the best personal finance and money management articles are featured. First, a little about your host. I am a 30 something blogger sharing my personal finance and investing experiences (good and bad) on my journey to financial freedom. Its has been a roller coaster ride and hope you can check out some of my past articles which are categorized for your convenience near the top right of the page. If you like what you see, consider subscribing to receive regular updates.

The theme for this edition of the carnival is the financial print media. With recent statistics and reports showing a decline in print media readership, I thought I would do my bit to highlight some of the newspapers and magazines I still like to read in the good ol’ fashioned print/hard copy format. If you like them, subscribe (via embedded links) to show your support!

Editors Picks – The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)

I am a regular reader of the print and online WSJ – The world’s premier and most comprehensive financial broadsheet. If you want the financial news without all the hype, then this is your source.

Fortune Magazine. Has all the stories about the leaders behind the companies we invest in. A hugely popular magazine with in depth business and management stories.

– Tom Tessin presents The Top 10 Colleges for Getting Rich the Fastest posted at FCC Student Blog, saying, “Learn what colleges will get you rich the fastest.” Great information, but my question is who are the “experts” saying this.

– Mike Leonard presents How long could you survive if you lost your job? posted at Until Debt Do Us Part. Start thinking of those contingency plans now.

– Upside Trader presents Hey, Maybe I’m Wrong posted at upsidetrader, saying, “I’m the biggest financial bear on the planet as you all know. Najarian is talking about the off the charts call option action in the financials today, and I do have to “respect” bullish action in any group when it presents itself.”

Kiplinger’s is another personal finance publication I subscribe to which presents money management in a very straightforward and engaging manner.

– Joy presents Stuff, simplified. Part 2 posted at Happy to be at Home. A nice article on frugal living and assessing what is really needed.

– Roshawn Watson presents 5 Signs That You Are Living Beyond Your Means posted at Watson Inc, saying, “Living beyond one’s means can derail the finances of even some of the highest earners. Just ask many of the countless celebrities and athletes who have filed for bankruptcy or have been foreclosed on”

– Bryce presents Telecommuting posted at Save and Conquer, saying, “More and more people work part or even full time from home. This post gives some help on deciding to telecommute.” You can also make a case to your employer as to why telecommuting can make you more productive.

– Kenneth presents Using Google Docs to track your expenses: Simple Step-by-Step Approach posted at Dollar Travels, saying, “This is a useful way to use Google Docs to track your budget and expenses.” I agree and its free.

George L Smyth presents One Minute How-To – How To Save On Grocery Bills posted at George L Smyth, saying, “Marion Cornett explains the psychology behind the ways stores get you to make more purchases than you had intended.”

Income and Taxes

We have to pay taxes on our income, and not much choice in that. So the best we can do is increase our income by investing wisely. For the publication that has the most influence on company stocks and Wall street, look no further than Barrons. It is a bit pricier than the other publications but well worth the premium.

And so ends this edition of the money hacks carnival. Thanks for all the submissions (over 50!) and it was great to discover a number of new blogs/bloggers. Just a quick note to remind submitters that your submission to this carnival must be posts that have not been submitted elsewhere. There were a number of posts I had to exclude due to the fact that they were already included in other carnivals this week.
